Ahead of my EPA I thought it would be an appropriate time to discuss my course over all but more specifically my trainer.
After my previous trainers departure from GEM, I was feeling some uncertainty as it was a crucial stage in my apprenticeship (about to start my project). However, after my first session with Brett my mind was put at ease with his outstanding dedication and ability to pick up from where trainer left off. Since then, Brett has worked tirelessly to make me feel at ease, organised and prepared whilst designing my project and preparing for my EPA. I understand this is Brett's first time delivering the business admin course, which came as a shock since his knowledge and guidance has been impeccable.
As a learner, I tend to overthink and get myself into a rutt from time to time. However, Brett has been amazing at keeping my couse flowing and organised to deter me from over stressing. He is always contactable and is always polite and professional.
Overall, I have enjoyed my business admin course 🙂
I felt it was important to share my feedback for future learners and for acknowledgement of GEM employees.
Having successfully completed my apprenticeship, I can now reflect on the experience and found it highly engaging to learn about the organization I work for. Breaking the material into sections made the learning process more manageable, and I particularly appreciated gaining a solid understanding of the fundamental principles of business operations.
Completing the apprenticeship alongside my working role significantly boosted my confidence and enhanced my understanding of various tasks, enabling me to perform them more effectively as a result.
The guidance I would offer to others is to always ask questions and never hesitate to seek clarification. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, as they are a valuable part of the learning process, and you will receive the support needed to grow and improve.
As a leading manufacturing company, finding skilled talent and ensuring they are properly trained has always been a critical challenge. Partnering with GEM as our recruiting and Training provider has been a game-changer for us. From day one, they demonstrated a deep understanding of our industry’s needs.
Their customised training programs have been instrumental in quickly onboarding new hires and upskilling our existing workforce. The hands-on approach, coupled with their expertise in manufacturing-specific skills, has significantly reduced our ramp-up time and improved productivity across the board.
GEM has become a true extension of our team, and we look forward to continuing our partnership.
I've had the pleasure of working with GEM both as a candidate and now as an employer. They played a key role in helping me secure my current HR Officer position, and I was impressed by their attentiveness and professionalism throughout the process. Since joining my company; Hydram Engineering Ltd, we've continued to work closely with GEM for our recruitment needs, and they consistently provide high-quality candidates. Their dedication to understanding our requirements and sending over excellent CVs has made the hiring process much smoother. I highly recommend GEM for both job seekers and employers.
